History of a Six Weeks' Tour Through a Part of France, Switzerland, Germany,…
"History of a Six Weeks' Tour Through a Part of France, Switzerland, Germany, and Holland" by Mary Shelley and Percy Bysshe Shelley is a travel narrative published in 1817. This work chronicles two journeys: a daring elopement across Europe in 1814 and a fateful summer at Lake Geneva in 1816 that inspired "Frankenstein". Combining journal entries, letters, and Percy's poem "Mont Blanc", the narrative blends Romantic enthusiasm with surprisingly frank political commentary.
The text captures youthful spontaneity while subtly revealing the radical ideas of its authors. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
